 Television
Using Television as a communications medium is relatively complicated, and requires specialized equipment on both sending and receiving end.
In traditional television broadcasting, images captured by cameras get sent electronically through wires to a broadcast tower, where the signal is turned into a series of high frequency radio waves containing both visual and audio information.
In cable television, a local service provider takes signals from the air (often from a satellite) and decodes them, sending them through wires to your house; in satellite tv, the television programming is bounced off a satellite, and you must point a receptor dish towards the satellite to receive the signal.
